    As many of us may or may not be doing right now, scrolling is an effective way to make an item stronger and while doing so, up its value.

    Due to the limited potency of scrolls, I would like to suggest that we have an event that ups the chances of successfully scrolling an item. So, say you want to scroll an item with a 10% scroll because naturally, the stats increased are better than say a 100% scroll, you'd maybe want to wait till the event where you have higher chances of successfully scroll said item. Maybe during that event, the 10% scroll could be up to 15%, or some value not too up there so that it'd be easy to scroll, but low enough to be a reasonable odd. I'm sure the general population wouldn't mind an event like that.

    Not gonna lie, my inspiration for this event was naturally Spell Fever on GMS and it's not exactly a nostalgic element of Maple Story 0.62, but I'd believe it'd give access to people having better equips.

    TLDR; I want to suggest a day where we have higher chances of successfully scrolling items.

    Post down there why this would be a good or bad idea, or what tweaks you'd bring to this event idea!

    Again, it's more of a random kinda thing, it doesn't have to be every day nor an announced day, just something that happens once in a while... But I guess it would be boring for people who don't have the funds to get scrolls or items when they want...
    But it still remains that some players are more advantageous than others, in terms of wealth already. This would just allow the less wealthy player base scroll items with say 70% scrolls or such with a higher chance value than the current 70% to make their own items a little stronger.

    But bah, just a suggestion and if it's against the server morals, then it's fine V-V

    kek, beamcasting always makes stupid posts. more stupid than me.

    OT: this could be an interesting solution to the ongoing argument about the scarcity of white scrolls. No + or - from me because I haven't seen anything like it before and I can't decide whether I think it'd be good or bad. It'd be interesting and unique either way.

    GMS does this for cubes/scrolls, I honest don't know how possible it is in the v62 infrastructure.

    Assuming it is possible though this could be interesting, we are always fighting for popularity with royals and this could be something that sets us apart.

    Though I don't like it, with events like this it would allow more op items to be in circulation. Currently the struggle to obtain op items is one of the few thing that are keeping late game players here. Speeding this up with these events means less things to do end-game and we barely have enough end-game content as it is.

    -1 for me.

    #NowThisIsWhatICallGettingTheDiscussionGoingThoughIRealizeThisIsNotTheBestOfIdeasThatI'veHadAsOfLate

    I admit this would take away the whole getting endgame items aspect of sticking around so this is a solid argument that really makes me realize that this event might not be the best of ideas for the server.

    And if I think about it, scrolls, as limited in supply as they are already will be even more sought out and I mean, it could get the economy going... But bah, I think I'll drop this idea

    Don't give up so easily man! This is a good idea, for a more developed server this would work. Just at the state we're in I don't feel it would be the right time to implement this.

    Also I'm curious as to what other think :p

    Why don't we have a 2x scroll drop event?
    Instead of increasing the chances or scrolls working, we could increase the supply of scrolls in the market, maybe just for 1 day.
    2x is a big increase in the drop rate and 1 day is short enough for this to not damage the economy but also be beneficial enough to help out people trying to improve their gear.
    2x drop events are common to v0.62. I'm not sure how we can make the increased drop rate specific to scrolls, but if it could happen, this revision to your idea could make this possible and beneficial.

    Is there a reason why 2x drop coupons arent a thing? Ive heard reasonings for why 2x exp coupons arent available, but an argument could be made to add 2x drop coupons as an alternative to gachapon and ap reset scrolls for people who are hunting a specific item/scroll

    @Kimberly@Kimberly has already said that depending on what the server thinks of this idea, 2x drop COULD potentially be added. (she also said 2x exp will NEVER happen)

    On the topic of 2x EXP coups just being part of the game, that would essentially go back to pay-to-win. Those who are able to get the coupons will use it to advantage themselves, while others will be limited to what they can afford with say, the 5k vote points. Adding the 2x drop coups would again, go into the loss of novelty of a v0.62 server.

    But going back to Ryan's modifications, making it a one day, or maybe even just a few hours for an event won't be as harmful.

    Going by how the market works, with my original idea, the demand would rise, but the production to answer this demand would stay the same so the supply would stay where it is and the prices would sky rocket... Which would deny any access of the lesser population to the scrolls. With Ryan's alternative implemented instead of mine, the supply would rise and the demand would naturally shift up, but will be a supply to answer the demand so we could see the price stay the same or a decrease in price due to a)the increase of supply b)the ease of access to said supply... which theoretically again, opens access to people of lesser wealth access to scrolls to buff up their stuff, which is my end goal here!

    Anyone, feel free to point out any flaws in my logic

    I don't understand what you mean by "going back to pay-to-win" since all NX are free, and there's no way to purchase them (donor NX is for cosmetic items in donor section only). 2x EXP cards are not, and never will be, added because it makes people unmotivated to grind whenever they don't have cards or the NX to buy one, as well as stressing people out with making the most efficient use of the cards and not wasting any double exp time. Instead, server EXP is 2x which is akin to free, permanent 2x cards for everyone so players can grind at their own comfortable pace and are not forced to train hours at one go.

    sidebar:
    Ironically the same thing happens anyway to people who leech from bishops (so just about everyone), when they don't have a bishop to leech/grind with they don't grind at all. 2x exp cards would give more incentive to actually grind themselves because inevitably they're going to get unmotivated anyway without a bishop. Just my 2 cents, I know they will never be a thing.

    As for 2x drop coupons/drop events, like previously stated Kim has said they is a chance for these to become a thing is enough people want them. I agree with them because farming certain types of items can be annoying.
